Red

ON Red, her fourth album, Taylor Swift emphatically proves she’s not merely a fabrication of the gossip columns with her best collection of songs yet. Her heartbreaks, and from Red’s contents, we’re guessing there have been a few, take centre stage as she wears her heart and emotions on her sleeve. If the 22-year-old is not falling for one rascal (be it John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal or Taylor Lautner), she’s being unceremoniously being given the brush-off by another, without naming any names.
